LUSHTICE

Sometimes I wish the Check Yes or No notes were still socially acceptable.

Of course it was always awkward to receive a hand-written “maybe” in reply. It’s a direct question - how about a direct reply? Then again it was elementary school. Yes? Sweet! Let’s sit together at lunch. No? Okay, next!

If only things were that cut & dry today. Instead most of us overanalyze and overcomplicate the whole ”I have a crush” situation - He’s loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not… is a constant struggle back and forth through our brains. 

Oh, and then there’s the invention of social networking via myspace, facebook, twitter, tumblr, etc — which has turned us all into expert stalkers. We don’t want to look, but we can’t not look — it’s too easily accesible. And it’s ohh so easy to build up the perfect little relationship in your head. And by perfect little relationship… I mean borderline obsession. All of this information dances around in your head and you haven’t even put yourself out there yet. And you know what? You probably never will.
